This year has been so busy- I didn't get around to sending any Christmas cards. After church I decided I should at least get a couple pictures of the kids in their church clothes!- I hope you all have a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Every year Inkom Elementary has a Christmas program- They do such a great job on it!-Hunter's class sang a couple songs and then they danced with their partner- He was a little afraid to dance in front of everybody, but he did a great job!- I was so proud of him! He has so much fun going to school with his cousin's- I don't know what it is, but everytime we take pictures, we have to have a funny face one! Hunter's teacher, Mrs. B, is amazing!- He doesn't love school but he does love his teacher!
We had Thanksgiving this year at my Mom & Dad's house- I'm sure they get sick of us but, we keep going back!- We always have way more food than we can eat but, we sure try!- I'm so thankful for the many things I have in my life!- I have a wonderful Husband, three beautiful children that I love so much- an amazing family on both sides and so many other things that I can't start to name!- I have been so blessed and I am truly thankful for everything in my life!
Hunter played Basketball for his 1st time this year- He loves it!- Once again I am thankful that he takes after his Dad- He is such a good little player- He made 6 baskets in his 2nd game- He is so fun to watch!- I keep telling him in High School he will have to choose between Basketball and Wrestling- He loves them both- He's hoping by then they will let him do both!
Mackie had her 1st dance recital in November- She looked absolutely adorable- however, she would not dance at all!- She was so excited to dance- she loves to take lessons and loved looking in the mirror- She was terrified when she walked(was carried) out onto the floor!- I felt so bad for her. After she stood and cried for a minute, she looked up and spotted me in the stands- She didn't last even a second after that- she was heading off the floor!
Yes- I know I'm a little late- I figured I needed to catch up before the new year or it will never get done!- My kids are growing up so fast- I no longer get to decide what they are going to be- They tell me! Every year we go to my Grandma Green's house on Halloween- This year she had a surprise for us- She was all dressed up and looked adorable!- What an amazing Grandma she is- I love her so much!
Jay took our boys and his cousin Justin and his boys Antelope hunting. They had a blast- My boys had so much fun playing with there cousins that they don't get to see very often! Later in the afternoon they met up with my dad- They loved getting to shoot Grandpa Stewart's pistol-
Jay takes clients bear hunting every year- this year my Uncle Richard and his son Daniel came out to Idaho to go!- They had a great time. Hunter loves going with his dad- I still can't believe how he can go through the mountains- he is amazing for a little boy- when they got to one of the baits, they found a little cub bear that had been dead for a couple hours- Jay called the F&G and they checked it out and let him keep it! In September, Jay, Hunter, Hannah and I went with my Uncle Rob and Preston and Jay's brother, Travis and his wife Crystal to Cascade to go hunting for a few days. Jay forgot to mention that we were staying out in the wilderness in tents with no toilets or running water- nothing!- It was definetly and adventure- We had a great time and I will never take for granted campgrounds again!
This year the kids all thought they had to have their own pumpkin- Luckily, Jay was home to help!- I don't love carving pumpkins! After we were finished carving, the boys wanted to carry there pumpkins out to the front porch, and of course, Mackie had to carry hers!-
I put Mackie in dance about a month ago- I wasn't sure if she would do it or not. SHE LOVES IT- She dances all day and I love watching- At first Jay thought I should wait (I don't think he is very excited about going to dance recital's)- Now- every chance he gets, he tells Mackie to do her dance for him!- it is so cute!
Jay and I have been married for 13 years. We struggled for 6 yrs. to start our family. After many Dr. appts. 3 rounds of IVF a few surgery's, and half way through adoption classes we had the wonderful news that I was prego-conceived on our own!!
Hunter has been such a blessing to us, he definitly keeps us on our toes and always laughing or yelling, but anyways. He has such a huge and tender heart, especially when it comes to his brother and sister. There is no question how much he loves them!
Easton is our next little monster, everyone refers to him as an angel. Aside from being a huge tease to everyone he comes in contact with. He is such a sweetheart he loves to snuggle his mom and gives lots of kisses!
Mackie is getting so big. She is already 2 1/2 years old. She definetly runs the household. It has been so much fun having a little girl-
Jay is keeping busy running his electrical business and all his developement projects. He is still an avid hunter and his kids are his pride and joy!!
I'm a wonderful stay at home mom. I'm blessed to stay at home with my 3 kids and there is never a dull moment!
